Question : What happens when Windows7 expires ??

Answer : Practically nothing really. Here is what I found out by changing my bios dates to December 2009.

When windows starts, after the welcome screen, two dialog boxes come up (screenshots below) and u just have to click on "Ask me Later" in the first dialog and "OK" button in the next.

And after that everything, I mean EVERYTHING (including Aero), works just fine EXCEPT one small thing. U have to manually set the wallpaper everytime ur pc starts or u logoff and login.

So, be cool nothing bads gonna happen. I have checked everything.

It expires on July the 2nd, but he chose to set it to December as long as it went over the expiration period

I changed my bios date to December to make sure its quite far enough after the expiration date which is 2/7/2009 becoz till 1/7/2009 win7 will stay activated. As Syzgy said above.....

Similar thing has also happened to me.. I had build 6801 for almost 2 months without any trick.. After 1st month it always asked the same thing and I clicked it later... I havent faced any problem on 6801 for almost 2 months..

ur documents and other things that u need to work with will be timestamped wrongly.
